29 May 2025 (river)

river swelling with rain the rattle of a wren

25 May 2025 (waves wet)

waves wet

the beach cobbles . . .

cooing eiders

24 May 2025 (twilight chill)

twilight chill

a distant woodcock

repeats his call

13 May 2025 (new leaves)

new leaves the green in a warbler’s song

10 May 2025 (downpour)

downpour

a robin’s dawn song

drowned out by the river

7 May 2025 (spring runoff)

spring runoff

the spillover

of birdsong

25 April 2025 (sunlight)

sunlight

in the kinglet’s song

bloodroot flowers opening

21 April 2025 (heady perfume)

heady perfume

of the orange grove . . .

an oriole’s morning warble

17 April 2025 (a warbler sings)

a warbler sings

from an ancient pine . . .

rising koi

10 April 2025 (a jay)

a blue jay fakes

an osprey’s voice . . .

unexpected sun

8 April 2025 (cranes overhead)

cranes overhead —

she spends a cold spring day

sketching sea creatures
